Empty Chair Still Warm

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your coat still hangs by the door Like you might come back for it Your boots on the mat Dust on the clock I keep passing the room Like it's holding its breath Like it knows what I know You are gone [Pre-Chorus] And I learned your silence By the sound it made Now the house goes thin When I call your name I reach for the chair And I miss your weight Baby, tell me how Do I carry this place [Chorus] Father, stay with me Stay with me Father, stay with me I can't let go of the ring I can't let go of the ring [Verse 2] Your coffee mug's chipped By the sink, by the window Cold in my hands Like a secret I keep Mom says I'm brave But my throat won't listen I fold your old shirt And it folds me back [Pre-Chorus] And every doorframe Feels a little too tall Every Sunday song Hits like a fall I smile at strangers Then I break in the car 'Cause love doesn't leave It just leaves a scar [Chorus] Father, stay with me Stay with me Father, stay with me I can't let go of the ring I can't let go of the ring [Bridge] If I get lost in the dark If I shake at the seams Put your hand on my back In the place that you mean I don't need forever Just one more sign One warm knock at the door One more night [Final Chorus] Father, stay with me Stay with me Father, stay with me I can't let go of the ring I can't let go of the ring Father, stay with me Stay with me Father, stay with me You still live in my name You still live in my name
